🇴🇲SALALAH, OMAN - Cristina is a remarkable lady who lives in Oman and recently converted to Islam.
She grew up in a typical Italian Catholic family. Initially, her conversion was a way of exploring the spiritual side of life that she felt was missing in her upbringing. However, as she continued to learn more about the religion, she found herself drawn to its teachings and values.
She was particularly attracted to the sense of community and support that Islam offered, which she found to be much more meaningful than anything she had experienced before. Over time, she has come to feel a great sense of joy and satisfaction in her chosen faith, and she is passionate about sharing her story with others.
She is an amazing friend who I will always be grateful to have in my life.

WHO AM I?
In 1999 I volunteered in an orphanage in Kenya and it changed my life. I then worked in Albania with unprivileged girls and kids for 3 years. I came back to Italy and started teaching at primary school but I wasn't happy.
So in 2010 I took the decision to follow my passion, not my pension. I first volunteered in Cambodia for a year, then opened a blog and travelled around South East Asia, China, Iran and Oman, always showing the lives of real locals, away from the tourist spots.
My goal - my mission in life - has always been to inspire people to be brave, follow their passion, open their minds and discover the kindness of other people and cultures.

Thank you Marwa..
I hope to by happy in Oman🥰
She really explained what Islam is, what the soul of Oman is as well
Thats great... Welcome to Islam. You made a great decision, im sure ull never regret it. Help other Italian people to understand how importnt it is. Goos luck
You You milktae lover and good message.
❤
Thank you! ☺️
Correction : As a non - Muslim, you can go inside the Mosque!
True, I discovered it later, thanks!! 😃
Offcourse kadak chai
You know I’m a tea and chai lover ☕️😀
Islam is the only authentic religion in the world as Allah Himself has taken this guarantee that not a single word or comma or sentence is changed or can be changed till the end of this universe or qayamat and the other religious texts have been corrupted or altered by people with time .. and this life is like a drop in an ocean ,the afterlife after death is the one that is indefinite and that is the reward that we get if we follow a noble and a life according to quran and hadith and Muslims live this life according to Islam to get the rewards for that afterlife and we Muslims have a strong faith in Allah ,his book and his prophet and you cannot find this strong faith in other religions or people..May Allah give you hidayath and you chose the right path i.e Islam
Amazing story, I converted 17 years ago, best decision ever. There is more than one hadith about covering the face, it's not culture, it's from Islam. And in Quran it's clear order to wear the hijab, which is not just scarf, but full body, dressing modestly is a blessing anyway and an honour.
Covering the face is not from Islam. Proof: you cannot pray with your face covered, you cannot perform the pilgramage/hajj or Umrah with face covered.
Your car made me laugh so much 😂😂😂 . What a beautiful story!! It was great hearing an Italian point of view about Islam. I met another Italian, years ago, she wasn't Muslim, but she did read the Coran and she was telling me how Islam is a religion that talks about peace. 💛
I’m happy you loved her story! Regarding my car, I laugh myself anytime I drive it 😂
I was so invested in her story and her confidence in her belief 😊
Alhamdulillah that Omanis made you feel home that and just like you said we are all brothers and sisters.
May Allah bless you and guid us all to the right path 🌹
Elizabeth I want see u also become muslim❤❤❤
I became muslims 2 years ago, Subscribing!!!
🙏🏽🧡🧡God bless you!
What a great journey, interview, and story. After hearing her story, I will become a better Muslim 🙏💕. Thanks for posting it Eli 🤗
That’s great to hear! I’ll show your comment to Cristina, I’m sure she will be super happy 🦋🌺❤️
@@toohappytobehomesickYou see, being born into a Muslim family you become Muslim by default, but becoming a Muslim is different as it takes lots of deep thinking and self reflection before you finally decide what is the right path for me. Therefore, it was eyes opening for me to hear from Cristina!
You are absolutely right. Not all people are willing to explore and understand and work on themselves, whatever religion they choose to follow. Thanks for your words! ❤
@@Minji100thank you so much!! I appreciate your comment. ❤
I m italian revert too
When you read Qur'an blindly it's beautiful when you read Qur'an understanding word for word then you either hate islam or become ex muslim or atheist which is correct
Thank you so much for this video. I'm also Italian and Muslim, so it was completely refreshing to listen to your friend's story. I appreciate how you really gave her the time to explain her story so completely. Brava, grazie! xxx
Prego! 😊it was a pleasure for me to listen to her story and tell it to the world
Hey, I am will to come to Italy for my further studies would it be okay if I wear a niqab ?
Interesting question. On August 2, 2011, the Italian Parliament's Constitutional Affairs Committee approved a draft law banning women from wearing full-face veils in public. The ban includes the burqa and the niqab but also for example a motorbike helmet. It basically prohibits the use of protective headgear or any other means to make recognition of a person difficult, in public places or places open to the public, without justified reason.
@@toohappytobehomesick oh I guess that included universities as well right,
It’s a place open to public so I guess yes, I am sorry
I had friend in my class became muslim. He s from sydney but his heritage was italian. I am muslimvaran but married to samoan/cook islander muslim. He s polynesian revert man who grew up in the islands but moved to Australia at the age of 18
Thanks for sharing! 💖
Beautiful testimony. Thank you Cristina for sharing your story, and thank you Elizabeth for spreading such positive message on your video. Lots of love to both of you ❤❤

What a beautiful video!
As is your friend, her story and you♡♡♡
Thank you for sharing it with all of us♡♡♡
I am happy you liked it my friend! 🌟
Correction: Anyone can enter the Mousque if they are clean and appropriately dressed/moderately dressed. This is God's house, open to all human beings.
Thanks!
Jesus is the way the truth and the life period and I will pray for you, it’s amazing so many Muslims are turning to Jesus. You obviously didn’t do your research
Wow! This video is one of the great video. I watched full video for {(25.33m)×2 time}. It make my heart so peace. I am appreciate to you for your video. Where you made video with great story like how people can find their peace instate of this artificial world and also to show natural beauty of Oman. Overall this entire video is enjoy and learning video ever. We are appreciate to you and your friend.❤❤❤ A great society hope that. Think you sooom!!!🎉
You made my day with this comment, thank you so much!! 💜💜😊
the video is lovely, and the story is fantastic, I have to say to the sister, the universe is a creation, so it is not part of Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty is the God, who created everything .. (He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.)
Thank you so much 😀
Well I feel sorry for you,the devil is collecting through them. You should really read their book they made up 600 yrs ago.
Am from salalah hope i can meet cristina somedays to thank her for good words.
You can find her on instagram at @cristinacollodel
@@toohappytobehomesick thank you
What a beautiful story. It's inspiring hearing the stories and the jounrey to Islam. I would like to correct the sister about wearing hijab. It is actually in many places in the Quran as an obligation and not just for prayer.
Allah says: "And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women." 24:31
😊
Thank you ☺️
Thank you for this nice video Elizabeth. I ask ALLAH you embrace ISLAM for a nice life and the lifeafter.
Thank you so much! 😊
AsslamoAllaikum Dear Elizabeth, how are u, I watch your video regularly and I appreciate you, Allah bless you. sabar hayat pakiatan,
Thank you for the support! God bless you too 🙏🏼
Can you imagine living rent free in any country in Europe?
Love your vid..natural and spontaneous. which makes it funny and enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏼
Amazing vlog and such a wonderful story to hear!
Just for clarification Hijab is not a part of an Arabian culture like she said but it's a part of Islamic culture.
The Quran as well the Sunnah do obligate men and women to cover themselves in these cases:
Its obligatory for women to cover their whole body except the face and the hands in front of non-mahram (all men except the husband and his father and his sons, her father, grandpas, brothers, sons, grandsons, uncles, nephews, and stepfather). she can show her legs (not including the thighs) and her whole arm and hand, her neck and her hair in front of mahram. in front of women, she has to cover the area between the navel and the knee.
men have to cover their body between the navel and the knee in front of everyone. but it's better to cover the chest and the back especially in front of women.
married couple can see their whole partner body.
In Islam not doing an obligatory deed or doing a prohibited action means that you are sinful, but it doesn't necessary mean that you're going to hell, cause God may forgive these sins.
I was in oman from 2017 till 2020😅than i move Dubai now i m in Malaysia come here visit pls😊
I like Malaysia! 🇲🇾
6:13 by the way you can enter to the mosque even if you are not Muslim
I thought non Muslims can enter only in big mosques like the Sultan Qaboos Mosque
@@toohappytobehomesickOnly Macca you cannot enter.
yeah u can enter any mosque as non muslim when ur intetions are good, like the other guy said only mecca as a city is prohibited for non muslims and the prophets mosque in medina is prohibited for non muslims@@toohappytobehomesick
For your information, Islam is the only religion that recognizes and respects the rights of women, and gives them a high status so that they can be respected by their children, husband, and society. I want to add another piece of information. We read in the Qur’an that there were books that God revealed to the prophets who preceded Muhammad, such as the Bible, the Torah, the Psalms, the Qur’an, and the Torah is the book. The one who was sent down to Jesus, who preceded Islam, and all religions with God are Islam, but with the difference of civilizations and histories, they were called by different names, but the books that Christ has now with what is called the Bible is completely fake, and we can verify that because there are more than one copy and each one differs from the other, but The Qur’an is one and cannot be forged, because if it is forged, any Muslim can notice it because they memorize it in their hearts.
Hahaha. Yoga Mat versus Yellow Yoga Mat. The yellow one is more special one.
😅😊
Peace be upon you, Eliza. Christina is right, and she has found the correct path that every person must follow, and God has sworn by that that there is no human being on this planet who has not been offered Islam. God is for this blessing Islam is the direct communication between you and God and after every prayer you will have reached the connection with your Lord and the heart will be reassured,
This is a fact, and you can learn easily, and read the biography of the pure Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and I wish you a peaceful life
Thank you for your kind thoughts ❤️
This is my pleasure. You should take a moment to understand what Islam is. It is a real religion and it really deserves to be embraced. It is not fake or invented by man. It is direct from God the Creator. I advise you to start with the biography of the Messenger Muhammad, and then read the Qur’an. I guarantee that if you read it, you will be fully convinced that it is TRUE .
Thank you for sharing!! I hope you enjoy your stay in Oman
Thanks from both of us 😊
Still not Muslim I pray 😂
😅
Amazing video, god bless cristina and you ❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
I was very happy to hear your story, accept the religion where you feel peace and happiness
Oman people are kind.
Mumbai.
This is the point: we should go where we feel peace. I agree, 10 years in Oman and could really experience how peaceful they are
@@toohappytobehomesick love Oman
Ma Marwa CONGRATULATİONS !!! First time watching this episode, You have been invited to ISLAM by ALLAH ...
We should all have mistakes or faults but following the Prophet's words / advices and life practice who was the perfect Islam example and translation of Qoran to human beings' life will take us to success the best of belief.
About hijab which is a must but not traditional, would you please Recheck
Soraa / Chapters : A'râf 26-27, Noor 30-31, 60, Ahzâb 33 ve 59
Pls you understand about Bagavath Geeta of Hindus
I am neither Muslim nor Hindu but I received the Bagavath Gita while I was in India 😊
Alhamdulillah muslim ❤❤❤
Actually its obligatory to wear the hijab but no one can force you to wear, it has to be your own choice since its something between you and God
Emotional this video ☺
Glad you liked it Eva 😊
Amazing story very inspirational
May Allah keep you steadfast and grant you Jannah.
May Allah guide Eli to islam
Ameen
🙏🏽
I love this video, and interesting this story and thank you for sharing with us 🙏🏾✨
You are welcome! More stories to come ♥
WELCOME TO ISLAM SISTER. ALHAMDULLILAH SWT OPENED YOUR HEART TO THE ONLY CORRECT WORDS OF ALLAH SWT LEFT ON EARTH AND THE LAST MERCY TO HUMANITY BEFORE THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT.
Nice talk with cristina colodel
It was really interesting to listen to her point of view
Ciao Cristina tutto e verita come hai spiegato
Io vivo in Sardegna sono muslim e tantissimi pensano come sono tanti ho tutti terroristi
Devi dare oportunita di conoscere storiu di popolo muslim e poi dire tua opinione
Tanti saluti eselamualejkum ❤❤❤❤Voglo venire a Oman❤❤❤❤
Regarding hijab, Arabic women used to cover up even before Islam, but they don't spread the head scarf on their chests, so, the verse of hijab in Quraan order them to be more modest and spread the scarves to their chests! Sunnah (prophet's saying, actions) is another source of Islam, so what prophet did we follow! Happy sister you have your inner peace and follow the right path!
0:36 Your Subaru is cool actually, cooler than a Ferrari 😉
Ahahah I prefer my Subaru eh eh 😎😅
I agree omanis are very generous ❤
They are!
What a beautiful story and lovely video!
I am very happy I found your channel
May Allah protect and guide both of you.
Much love and respect to you guys and to the kind and generous people of Oman from Saudi Arabia.
Thanks and welcome, you are so kind 💗
What was Christiana's muslim name❤❤❤
Cristina’s Muslim name is Marwa ☺️
Her story is amazing really appreciate, i’ll meet you soon in oman i hope we can
I’m happy you like her story! If you’d like to meet her, she lives in Salalah 😊
Marshallah I feel I must join you on this journey Sisters! InshaAllah, when Elizabetha plans a new video about getting a job or becoming a volunteer in Selalah, or how to survive because one has to have food, accommodation, not be a nuisance but contribute etc
Hello! Do you live in Salalah? I’m just leaving Salalah tonight, but if you’d like to be in my video I’ll make one with you next time I come ❤️it would be my pleasure, let me know!

@@toohappytobehomesick I hope one day you will be joining the Islam
From Iraq, with pleasure to invite you to visit my country ... regards
Iraq is on my list! I can’t wait - I should definitely organise a trip to Iraq
she is allowed to in the mosque
You’re right, she made a mistake here
The Quran said believing women to cover up.
Maasha'allaah tabaarakallaah.
My god bless you Cristina.
Elizabeth thank you sister for the geat video .
My pleasure 😇🩷
Mashallah! May Allah bless you and your friend Cristina. I can completely relate to her story, we have so many similarities, and my name is also Kristina. I’ve lived in Oman for almost 8 years but I’ve moved to the US. But insha’Allah I will go back to Oman. I wasn’t born there but it is my home. Alhamdulillah 🥰
Wonderful! I guess it’s kind of a shock to go to live in the US after 8 years in Oman! God bless you 🤍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
💖
Dear sister, there is a vers in the holy Quran which says a woman should cover herself from top of the head to the toe down .
What about the men? Shouldn’t they cover as well?
What an amazing video.
God Bless you both.
This is such a lovely story.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼💖
about going inside the Masjed , you actually can go in as none muslim it's okay as long you're not there for " fun doing bad things " it's ok because you're in need ,waiting for your friend , drinking water or any needs that Masjed can provide for you .
That’s good to know for next time 🙏🏽
I am enjoying both of you...wish we can three can explore KSA In Sha ALLAH ❤😊
I hope so too!! 🥰🥰🥰
@@toohappytobehomesick soon❤️🙏
Bellissima testimonianza ❤
Aiuta a vedere la sua religione sotto un’altra luce
Hallo
Engine is like a Ferrari 😅 lovely humor
😂😂
She is a great woman. She is soooooooo kind and friendly
Yes she is!
Sukran! thank you very much 🙂
Video Meraviglioso, compimenti ad entrambe !!!!!!!
Grazie! 😊
Grazie!! Cerchiamo di dare un messaggio di pace universale 🥰
I'm sure she has a pure heart and she did not mean it or she means something else but I want to clear that Allah who creat the universe he is not the universe sorry.
I told her and she replied that yes, she didn’t mean that but she finds it difficult to explain her thought in English 🙏🏽
Respect
Very refreshing to watch two ladies enjoying themselves! Can you answer my following questions?
1. Have you experienced racism or arrogance in people there?
2. How strong is the language barrier if one doesn't speak Arabic? How difficult it gets.
3. Isn't weather too hot there to be enjoying tea? Is it tolerable to hang out in summer?
Thank you in advance, may Allah reward you and keep you well.
Hi! 😊
1. I have never experienced any racism or arrogance in Oman since 2012. There surely are some arrogant people also here like anywhere in the world, but generally speaking omani are very kind
2. I’ve never had any problem here language wise because many people speak English. Sometimes there was some communication problem with the Bedouin women in Ash Sharqiya sands or with some people in Salalah mountains. However, even if you don’t speak Arabic you can live here with no issues.
3. The weather is extremely hot in the north only in summer, from May to August, with temperatures that can go up to 50 degrees like nowadays in certain parts of the countries. AC is e everywhere though. Tea can be sipped outside from October to April
@@toohappytobehomesick Thank you for the response. I am an Engineering student of Water technology and Environment in Germany, and for some reason, I do not feel at home here.
This is why I am considering Oman for future residence, given its conservative lifestyle, job market in water infrastructure and treatment.
So far, the weather is the only factor that scares me.
Let's see what the future holds.
T.C
Good luck! I advise you to come to Oman first and feel if the country is for you. I’m from north Italy and the weather is freezing in winter but after a while I adapted very well to the Omani weather. You will, too!
@@toohappytobehomesick I like italians. Thank you for the advice, I'll consider it
At the time of the video, all questions about Islam ended, even though your nose happens to be of Abrahamic origin
- In fact, Islam or the book of Islam (the Qur’an) is the teachings that were revealed to our master Abraham and the commandment of the covenant that was revealed to the Prophet of God, Moses, and was abrogated in the Holy Qur’an, as well as what came in the revolution and what came in the Bible. Al-Karim is today from 1400 years to today, no text or word has changed in it, and it was confirmed 1400 years ago, there was no printing or widespread codification, even though the ancient Roman state was based on the guardianship of the covenant of our master Moses, and it was called the Law of Solagh
He went back and confirmed the last version of the Bible that was corrected during the time of the British King Arthur, while the Qur’an is the same and has not changed.
[12] From the Almighty’s saying: {On the Day We roll up the sky like a record for the books} verse 104 to His saying: {And We did not send you except as a mercy to the worlds} verse 107
- And the record is the same as Einstein mentioned the same rug
The other thing is that the hijab is the same as the dress of the Virgin Mary, peace be upon her and her father, the Lord Christ, may God’s peace be upon him and his nation
Nice conversation between two lovely ladies 💞
Thank you 😊
Allah says in Quran, put your khimar. Khimar is head scarf. So yes it's written in Quran. For example Nur 31 ayah.
Mashallah beautiful story. Welcome to islam my sister amen.
I’m happy you liked it!
can you get me a job in Salalah?
You should really go to Salalah in person and look for it. I’ve never found a job abroad without being physically there
i was twice , as Omani's say I need connection@@toohappytobehomesick
What job are you looking for and where are you from?
teach or any suitable job, I am from USA@@toohappytobehomesick
Islam religon the real religion ❤❤
I believe there’s no real religion, since anything we believe in is respectable. We will discover what is real only when we die ☺️
Pemasiri sri Lanka madam Good.❤
You are beautiful Mashaallah ❤may Allah guide you as well ameen

Nice video I am Kashif from Pakistan

Don’t! Your story is a positive message to the world, it helps fighting prejudices and understanding what real Islam is. You are great!

In the Koran Allah said muslim women should wear Hijab
Saif
Hello Saif!
Aslam Alaikum to the Italian Muslim sister driving the car. You probably don't know much about Afghanistan. The people there are straight followers of Islam. The government there is trying its best to implement the Islamic system. But at the moment they are worried about the economy. The wrong image of Islam has been distorted by the media of America and Europe and not presented by Afghanistan or Muslims. Ask Allah enough and repent. May Allah grant you the opportunity to speak good things, Ameen
We hope to visit Afghanistan soon if possible to film nice videos about your country
@@toohappytobehomesick Dear sister, welcome from the heart and soul, and yes, Afghanistan has no traditions or culture of its own, our Islam is our tradition, n culture that's why three major world powers They bombarded us, such as Britain, Russia, and finally the United States.
'Promosm' 😎
